Short answer

The inventory must be updated and the registration brought into line with your current processing reality; an outdated registration is evidence against you in an audit. The programme makes VERBİS maintenance part of an annual routine.

Update the inventory first, then bring the registration into line with it — not the other way round. The Data Controllers’ Registry (VERBİS) exists under the Personal Data Protection Law (No. 6698), and what it records has to be accurate and current: the purposes of processing, the categories of data, the recipient groups, the retention periods and any transfer abroad. A registration that has quietly gone stale — new processing activities, new suppliers, retention periods that have changed — becomes evidence against you in an audit and raises the exposure to an administrative fine.

So the update is not a form-filling exercise. It means reviewing the processing inventory, making it consistent with your information notices and your retention-and-destruction policy, and only then correcting the VERBİS fields. Where a material change occurs — a new system, a new purpose, a new transfer — the entry has to be updated within the period the legislation allows, which is why we tie VERBİS maintenance to your change-management process and to an annual review rather than to a scramble before an audit.
